This kind of contrast is a very useful way to view what is unique and what is shared between humans and baboons.

How do you build a society?

Does living on the savanna make a difference?

What kind of culture do baboons have?

Do they have language?

How do they inherit the past

What would a baboon think of Paris?

These are just some of the questions we explore in our research. This page is under construction, more to come soon.
